The term allelopathy was coined by Molisch in 1937 Q). Presently, the term generally refers to the detrimental effects of higher plants of one species (the donor) on the germination, growth, or development of plants of another species (the recipient). Allelopathy can be separated from other mechanisms of plant interference because the detrimental effect is exerted through release of chemical inhibitors (allelochemicals) by the donor species. Microbes associated with the higher plants may also play a role in production or release of the inhibitors (2). 

From a theoretical standpoint, further study of the formation of bacterial cellulose might yield some information regarding the mechanism of plant synthesis. 

The effect of plant root exudation and exudation patterns on root colonization and expression of toxin production must be considered. For example, it may be important to determine the effect of root exudates from cold-stressed plants on these organisms, since the exudates apparently first appear just after the plants break winter dormancy (34). These data should provide information on root colonization potential, possible stimulation or reduction of toxin production, and mechanisms of plant resistance to the organisms. 

Earlier studies indicated that wheat cultivars responded differently to these organisms (15). If necessary, it should be possible to develop resistant varieties, especially When we know the mechanisms of plant uptake and mode of action of the toxin within the plant. One biological control may be the development of a TOX-negative inoculum for seed treatment. These bacteria may act like other rhizobacteria, which are known to increase plant growth, apparently by displacing nonbeneficial bacteria in the plant rhlzosphere (14).

Scientific basis for organic agriculture is missing, and spectroscopic methods can help in the understanding of the mechanisms of plant growth, disease control, and others.
